she knows my heart belongs to you
just me and the lavender moon

s time passed with no more sightings from the beast, there was a flexibility to everyone’s schedule. Sometimes it would take a little longer for someone to get up, or they’d spend a little more time talking to someone they met in the halls. That was how she found the window: a guard passing a quick flirtation. Just long enough for her to slip out onto the balcony and take to the air.Her wings were young and strong, but they were still slightly immature. The feathers were not quite developed, the fluffy down not yet shaken from their edges. She made frequent stops, dipping in and out of trees, resting at creeks and small ponds, before she came across the steppes. While they had been gone it had bloomed into a valley of colors, long and graceful flowers on tall stalks.
See, everything is growing back. Everything! With one final swoop down below, she not-so-gracefully stumbled into what she thought would be compact dirt.
When she landed it instead felt like a breeze passed beneath her and righted her wings, allowing for her to flow smoothly to a halt. The crystal flowers around her swayed in a gentle and rhythmic dance. There was a sweet hum vibrating in the air around her, a melody that whispered enticement. Come closer, the petals seemed to sing. And she did.
I bet mama would love one of these for her hair, she thought as she spotted a yellow flower, the curls of its petals dancing like firelight in the early morning sun. But she did not pick it, instead she moved to delicately place a kiss on its unfurling leaves, to wet her lips on the dew.
”Who are you?” she asks them, for surely they are the work of the gods and their magic.
